“Instead, it seems they are now focused on creating a game space that maximizes cheaply retaining players' attention and opening opportunities for monetization.”
“All in all it's a good game but I'm leaving a negative review because the USAF is attempting to recruit through it via advertisements and Twitch drops.”
“This game proves something that I've been saying about games for the past several years and that's most newer games lack passion; games used to be a form of art and now 90% of them feel like corporate cash grabs.”

The music aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players enjoying the chaotic and humorous nature of the proximity chat where various songs are blasted during gameplay. However, there is a significant lack of official soundtrack and ambient music, leading to a feeling of emptiness in the game environment. Players have expressed frustration over strict moderation against music in voice chat, which detracts from the fun and camaraderie that spontaneous music can bring to the battlefield experience.
“I relaxed for 5 fucking minutes to this music long enough to realize that I was going to be okay.”
“The soundtrack is not just a background melody; it's an integral part of the gaming experience.”
“With choppers heard flying overhead, sniper shots narrowly missing your head, and the music being played from someone's microphone nearby, it really gives you the epic feel of a battlefield in many different eras (depending on the song).”
“The devs are fragile because they kept banning people who play music on their mics and call it 'mic spam', and you will get banned even if you say mean words, even if it's playful trash talk, so good luck having fun with people in chat, which chased away more players from the game.”
“The soul of the game is just not there anymore either; no one talks anymore. I actually haven't even heard your classic mic spam in the start of the game in a little while, so I had to call it quits, and never thought I'd miss music being blasted on repeat in the choppers.... *sigh* sadly while I loved the game previously, now I wouldn't recommend it.”
“The text chat is insufferable and people only use the mic to blast music and whine for medics, no real communication or call-outs.”

“Litterally a shittier clone of Unturned, gun play is terrible, you need to put in hundreds of hours to unlock any good weapons, too many cheaters and hackers, character designs and graphics are subpar, vehicles are difficult to control, the muzzle climb on most of the guns can be way too pronounced to hit anything beyond 'directly in front of your face', no menu music, terrible UI, crouching, but no sliding, and many more complaints.”
“Graphics on high settings are okay and change trash bag character designs into slightly more rendered trash bags, but realistically characters are just harder to spot than before.”
“The mechanics, movement, and gun play are as good as any triple-A title, but the silliness of the character design and the hilarious in-game voice chat keep the game from feeling too serious.”
